I am just beginning to eliminate dairy and eggs etc from my diet and choose more raw plant foods and continue to eat legumes but I find it hard to hit my daily requirement for protein by doing this. I am also trying to workout and put on muscle and this requires me to have additional protein. I am in Food and Nutrition management at my college and in nutrition classes my profs have told me health canada says about 0.86g of protein per kilogram of body weight. So I weigh about 185lbs/2.2 = 84g of protein a day. In addition to that I would need more for muscle growth and rebuild.

Heres the problem: Every vegan bodybuilding plan I see has soy in it. Im not totally against soy but I would only want to consume it once a day or so just because of the uncertainty of research. I do try to pick organic non gmo but I am still hesitant to consume more than a meals worth in a day. Am I crazy? lol

you can be vegan without soy, but it would be twice hard if your goal is to put up mass, almost all the meat substitutes with big amounts of proteins come from soy (you can easily find non-gmo products, now every vegan thing comes from bio cultivations).what about seitan? are you against gluten too?anyway legumes, seeds and big variety of nuts but pay attention using these 2 as a protein source will give you a lot of fat.i use soy once a day too or from tofu or other variations (burgers, schentzel, "meat"balls etc etc) buy a good protein powder brand, adn make good shakes, buy even bcaa, and other powders like spirulina, maca, hemp pro powder, etc i always put them in the shake with rice milk. doing it just with water is not that tasty
